Darryl loves people and is known in the community as a networker and educator. He takes great pleasure in learning about each client’s needs, finding solutions to help protect what’s important to clients, and giving them the peace of mind that they are properly insured. Taking care of each client and earning their loyalty is what brings him the greatest satisfaction. In fact, many clients have become friends over the years.

When Darryl isn’t taking care of his clients, you can find him dedicating a few hours each week to coaching/mentoring youth or leading his pipe band at various community parades.
